Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an auxiliary seat for a child, which is mounted on a bicycle handle so as to carry an infant.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 4, a child auxiliary seat of this kind has a frame 23 provided with a handle 21 at an upper end and foot rests 22, 22 at a lower end thereof. And a seat 25 fixed to the support rod 24.

[0003] The frame 23 is provided with hooks 26, 26 to be hooked on the handle h of the bicycle so as to protrude forward. The seat 25 includes a stool 27, a backrest 28, and elbow rests 29 located on both sides of the stool 27,
29.

Further, stoppers 30, 30 for restricting the swing of the support rods 24, 24 are mounted between the frame 23 and the support rods 24, 24. Each stopper 30, 3
0 has a long hole 31 along its length,
The support rods 24, 24 swing up and down in the range of the long hole 31 of the stopper 30.

[0005] An auxiliary seat for such a bicycle child is as follows.
When the hooks 26, 26 of the frame 23 are hooked on the handle h and attached to the bicycle, the seat 25 is pushed down during use so that the seat 25 is supported by the support rod 24,
It swings downward together with 24, and its swing is restrained on the way by the stoppers 30, 30, and the seat 25 is fixed in a state facing the front of the bicycle.

When the seat 25 is not used, the seat 25 can be swung upward while the frame 23 is fixed to the handle h, and the seat 25 is held in this state by the frictional force of each connecting portion. It has become so.

[0007]

However, in such a child auxiliary seat, when the frame 23 is fixed to the handle h, the stoppers 30, 30 are located below the handle h, as shown in FIG. In addition, even if the seat 25 is swung upward, the stoppers 30, 30 abut against the handle h and cannot completely push the seat 25 down. For this reason, there is a problem that the seat 25 hits the leg of the cyclist and gets in the way.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an auxiliary seat for a child of a bicycle capable of swinging a seat upward.

[0009]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in a bicycle auxiliary seat according to the present invention, a handle is provided at an upper end, a footrest is provided at a lower end, and the bicycle is protruded forward and is hooked on a handle of the bicycle. A support rod projecting rearward from a position below the fixed hook is attached to a frame having a hook so as to be swingable up and down, and a seat having a seat portion and a backrest is fixed to the support rod. Then, on both sides of the seat, an elbow abutment which is attached to the backrest portion so as to be freely rotatable up and down and has an engagement hook which is provided at an end thereof with an engagement hook for engaging with a bicycle handle is adopted. It was decided to.

[0010] In the bicycle auxiliary seat having the above structure, even if the hook of the frame is hooked on the handle of the bicycle, the engaging hook of the elbow rest is hooked on the handle to thereby provide a backrest connected to the elbow rest. The part and the seat are fixed, and the seat that swings up and down is fixed in a state facing the front of the bicycle.

As a result, there is no need to provide a stopper between the frame and the support rod as in the conventional auxiliary sheet,
Since the upward swing of the seat is not hindered, the seat can be pushed further forward until it comes into contact with the frame.

[0012]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A bicycle child assist seat shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes a frame 1 fixed to a handle h of a bicycle, a support rod 2 swingably attached to the frame 1, and The seat 3 is fixed to the support rod 2.

The frame 1 is formed by bending a belt-shaped stainless steel material downwardly into a substantially U-shape, and has a handle 4 at an upper end and footrests 5 and 5 at a lower end. A pair of hooks 6, 6 protruding forward is attached between the handle 4 and the foot rests 5, 5, and fitted slightly below the hooks 6, 6 into a handle post p of the bicycle. A fixing ring 7 is provided.

The support rod 2 protrudes rearward from the position where the fixing ring 7 is mounted, and its distal end is bent obliquely upward.

The seat 3 comprises a seat 8 and a backrest 9, and a polyurethane cushion whose surface is covered with a vinyl chloride cover is provided on a seat plate 10 fixed on the support rod 2, respectively. It has a configuration.

On the back of the backrest 9, elbow rests 11, 11 formed of stainless steel rods are rotatably mounted. The elbow rests 11, 11 are respectively extended forward from both sides of the backrest 9 with a space between the backrest 9 and the stool 8, and are bent obliquely in the direction in which they approach each other in front of the seat 3. ing.

At the tip of each of the elbow rests 11, like the hooks 6, 6 of the frame 1, locking hooks 12, 12 which are hooked on the handle h of the bicycle are provided so as to protrude forward. And these locking hooks 12, 12
The handle h is hooked at a position outside the hooks 6 of the frame 1. Further, mesh-shaped cover members 13, 13 are attached to the elbow rests 11, 11 located on both sides of the seat 8 respectively.

In the bicycle auxiliary seat having such a structure, the hooks 6, 6 of the frame 1 are attached to the bicycle handle h.
The seat 3 swings up and down behind the handle h when it is fixed by being hooked onto the handle h. In use, however, the locking hooks 12 and 12 of the elbow abutment 11 are hooked on the handle h to be connected to the elbow abutment 11. The seat back 9 and the seat 8 are fixed, and the seat 3 is fixed with the seat 3 facing forward of the bicycle.

For this reason, unlike the conventional auxiliary seat, a stopper for fixing the seat 3 is not required between the frame 1 and the support rod 2, and as shown in FIG. Even when the main body is fixed to the handle h, the seat 3 can be pushed forward until it comes into contact with the frame 1.

Further, as compared with the conventional auxiliary seat, not only the number of engagement portions with the handle h is increased, but also each of the elbow rests 11, 1
Since the hook 1 is locked at a position outside the hooks 6 of the frame 1, the wobble of the seat 3 during traveling is reduced.

[0021]

As described above, in the bicycle auxiliary seat according to the present invention, the swing of the seat is fixed by hooking the locking hook provided on the elbow rest of the seat to the handle. In addition, the upward swing of the seat is not hindered on the way. Therefore, when the seat is not used, the seat can be pushed forward until it comes into contact with the frame. Even if the frame is fixed to the steering wheel, the seat does not hinder the cyclist.

Further, when the seat is used, the elbow rest having the locking hook is locked at a position outside the hook of the frame. Safety is improved.
